Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I agree with you. I don't go out of my way to hurt big people and I don't outwardly do so on ourpose. I just have to catch my initial bias and push it aside first, which I'm working on, I know it's a me thing, for sure.

I agree "happy at any size" can be an acceptable attitude, for sure, but I disagree with "healthy at any size". Obesity puts stress on organs and body parts, simply just because of the extra weight, even if everything else is fine.
